Scott's '71/'73 Challenger!!!

The one that started it all!!! A 383ci Big Block Chrylser breathing through a D3R ProCharger motivates this car down the 1320' in 8.50 seconds at 158mph!!! Change the blower pulley and the car will putt around all day on any city street. If you were at the Worscter Summer Nats last year you saw this animal tearing up the streets. With the street exhaust on the car is suprisingly quiet, but with the 5" race pipes on you better cover your ears!!! The engine is currently out of the car for a compression change and some engine-dyno time, but will be ready this summer!







Greg M's Duster

We sent Greg an 850hp crate engine/4l80E transmission 5yrs ago and he FINALLY installed it this past season. The engine is a replica of Scott's 383, except with a smaller supercharger and an SDS computer system. Greg's car is running in the low-9's at over 140mph, but is just a blower-upgrage away from mid-low 8's at 160mph+!!!! Check our youtube account for a REALLY cool video of one of Greg's first runs down the track. He has since installed a transbrake and his et's have dropped accordingly.







Dominic I's Dakota

You may of seen this truck in Mopar Action magazine back in 2001, it was featured in an 8pg article! Domonic's truck was less than a year old when it came to us for the full work-over. He got a one-off 750hp 360ci smallblock with our custom designed heads, sheetmetal intake, fabricated long-tube headers, one-off Bogart rims, mini-tub, dual exhaust, fuel cell, etc. etc. This truck ran in the high 11's at 85mph with only 1st and 2nd gears. We never did get a real time with a working transmission, but it surly would of been high 10's. Scott always says if he could have any one vehicle he has ever built it would be this one.









Gordon B's Ram

Gordon owns Superior Airflow, the company that makes the "EV" carb hat. He came to us for a motor several years back and we more than delivered with an 1100hp Big Block controlled by a Ford EEC system!










Mike Z's '73 Duster

Scott met Mike many years ago at Englishtown Raceway. Mike was throwing his broken rocker-arms as hard as he could over a fence and into the lake. Scott initially walked right on by laughing to himself. Several months later he got a phone call from a New Yorker with a Duster who was having rocker arm troubles. Scott fixed his geometry issues, sold him a supercharger kit that works, and made him a set of our custom Brodix heads. Mike went on to run low 10's/high 9's with his carbureted 360 until one day after many years of abuse and shifting 1500rpm PAST the redline, he dropped a valve and broke the engine. We then built him his current engine which is a 388ci motor with updated heads, an F2 ProCharger, sheet-metal intake, and an Accel DFI system. The engine made 1100hp at the crank, and 750 at the tires. Mike's best run was an 8.90 @ 153, but he has been constantly fighting traction issues. He tried every trick in the book to make his leaf springs work, but just couldn't get it to ET any better for what should be a mid-8sec mph. He has recently dropped the car off here at the shop again for a 4-link rear suspension, custom front suspension, and a twin turbo kit to replace the supercharger. Mike will be gunning for mid-low 8's this season!!!











Craig S's Cuda

Wendy's favorite car by FAR. Craig sent his Cuda up from Maryland for us to supercharge. The car already had a Mopar crate engine in it that put down 260hp through the 5-spd transmission. After installing one of our intercooled ProCharger kits and upgrading the fuel system we bumped that number up to 430hp at the tires...and he still has his A/C!! Craigs car ended up on the cover of Mopar Action Magazine last year as well with a lengthy article about it and us!!









Chuck F's Dakota

Chuck brought his Vortech supercharged truck here to be tuned several years ago. Come to find out his poor running was caused by two melted pistons. So out came the engine, and he was built a new motor making just shy of 700hp at the crank. This new motor is run by an Accel Gen7 ECU, and has methanol injection. As is so often the case, his little s-trim vortec is his limiting factor for power. This however is being rectified as I type this as his truck is in the shop getting the blower removed, and one of our twin-turbo kits installed. We are shooting for 650hp at the wheels, up from his current 530hp. More details as this project progresses!!!

That is our shop car, noone has ever worked on it but us to the best of my knowledge. What does your dad do?

just a mechanic. someone from RI bought a challenger out of AZ by just seeing a short video of it and i thought his name was scott, and thought it was a 71/73.

I am probably mistaken though .

I would guess not. Ours came from a field for $500.....that will tell you the condition it was in when purchased smile.gif. All of the restoration work was done in house, as well as all the mechanical work. The only work that wasn't done by Scott or someone working for him was probably the alignment.

I call it a 71/73 because it is a '73 body with a '71 nose on it. The Chrysler purists get PISSED when they see that.
